Sure, the story is six-and-a-half years old, but it’s still fun to read about a proud mom and her up-and-coming son.

UPDATE: Lucero, who also is one of the best photographers in the Catholic press, today posted an extraordinary slideshow of photos of Archbishop Dolan from Lucero’s days on the staff of the Catholic Herald. You can click here to read Lucero’s blog and see the slideshow at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
